We are busy folks, you and I.
We’ve got posts to write, comments and emails to respond to, bloggers to network with, a plethora of social media sites to hang out on…
So when a potential traffic generation strategy (a.k.a. yet another time sucker) knocks on our door, first and foremost we want to know what’s in it for us.
A very fair question, right?
That’s exactly why I sat down with Dino Dogan, the founder of Triberr, and asked him why we should consider making Triberr an integral part of our social media strategy.
Triberr Traffic Generation
When I think of any [new] way to build my business, it always comes down to “how much targeted, engaged traffic can it bring to Traffic Generation Café?”
That’s my more or less measurable way to evaluate its effectiveness.
In my mind, everything we do online has one ultimate goal: get more eyes (i.e. more web traffic) to see what we have to offer.
Dino disagrees.
He says “traffic is a false god“.
As you can imagine, this difference of opinions turned into a very interesting discussion.

From Ana with
Hi Ana, I’m not so familiar to this Triberr that’s why I searched it to gather some information. I think this is useful stuff and will explore more for further my benefits. The good thing is it’s free.
Hi Anna,
I have just finished watching the video. Now I’m trying to order my paper notes and put them into a file. I always like to have the information organized.
Maybe I am too romantic and I get too easily hooked by beautiful words but, I like very much the following:
Anna: “If you have 10 minutes a day for social media, don’t spend it on Twitter or Facebook, spend it on Triberr.” “It saves time and grows your influence like nothing else does.”
Dino: “It’s a change in mindset.” “It’s a movement to equalize the blogosphere, to create a middle class of bloggers, a creative class that can make a living online, location independent.”
I must say that I like the video and the idea. I also think Triberr is on the verge of explosion. Sooner or later, everybody will be there. Why not take advantage now?
I clicked on that link to your tribe. There is only one member: you! The rest are followers. Even Dino is a follower !
OK. So the only purpose is to share your content. I found there about 60 posts (!). It doesn’t matter so much because the content is valuable (at least this is what I imagine).
I have a question though. When a new follower arrives in your tribe and see this list of post he must share, he becomes somehow confused. What to do ? Share all the posts? In what order? With what frequency? Share only the last 5-10 ?
Of course you must read them but I imagine they are all valuable so the question is legitimate.
Maybe it would be a good idea to create some kind of guidelines there for new kids to know what to do.
Congratulations. I always like people who fight for a cause.
Have a nice day
Thanks for watching the interview, Silviu; sounds like you took some great notes.
Automatic tribe is different from a regular tribe - it’s designed to automatically share the founder’s posts, sort of like you would do with Twitterfeed or any other RSS sharing tool.
You don’t really have to do anything to share automatic tribe posts; all future posts will be shared. However, if you do want to go an extra mile, it’s certainly great to share some past posts that draw your attention.
Hi Anna,
Thank you for the reply. “Automatic tribe”? LOL! So that’s the reason there are no members. Only followers.
Yesterday I had no idea about automated tribes. No I’m a follower in one of them. 🙂 Just because I decided to take some action.
WOW! You need people who trust you very, very much. I remember someone who warned me about automatic tribes.
However, this is a great chance to know the truth. I trust you and think that all your content is high quality so I won’t leave the tribe. If it works, I have great content, for free, shared automatically without me moving a finger. If it doesn’t work, I’ll be more wise.
Now, great content, from top influencers, shared automatically … What a dream!
My mind is constantly focused on one thing: to create a system. A system that will AUTOMATICALLY manage all the information: the information that comes to me and the information that goes from me. As Corey Rudl said, in one of his courses: “Plan on setting everything up to be automated right from the beginning and let your computer do the bulk of the work for you.” This way I will be able to do creative work = things that I love.
This is what I want. Why? Obviously because hard work (done manually) doesn’t work.
Examples:
I posted 1000 post on facebook in 10 months (manually). For this work I was rewarded with 100 friends.
I pinned 6000 pins in 6 months on Pinterest, manually. Reward? 100 followers.
Now I know. Hard work is far from being enough. You need smart work. So: automate everything you can, organize all the work into a system and focus only on the best part (creation, relationships). I think this is the road to success. If your content helps me, I will be happy to promote it.
My question for your is: How frequent do you post? Once a day, 2 times a day? Once every two days?
Thank you very much for the reply
Have a nice and creative day
Silviu
I have a few bloggers on automatic sharing, Silviu, and yes, they’ve all consistently shown that they write the kind of content I’d be willing to share with my followers in a heartbeat.
And I completely understand what you mean about automation. There’s no way we can afford to spend hours upon hours connecting, sharing, etc. It’s just not a great use of our time.
In the beginning of Traffic Generation Café, I managed to find my silver Twitter bullet - I developed a formular using Tweet Adder that brought be thousands of visitors who turned into readers and followers. With all the latest changes in Twitter, it doesn’t work that way any longer, but it doesn’t mean I’ll stop looking for the next one.
At the moment, I am very inconsistent with social media, but you see, you can afford it once you have a following. While you are in the process of getting a following, consistency is definitely the key. I’d suggest posting at least 3 times a day on FB and G+ and a lot more often on Twitter - more noise needs a more serious action.
Getting connected with people though is where the key is.
I think these websites should use a common phrase or something for their features. It gets so much confusing!
Anyways, how is triberr is different than sites like scoopit, stumbleupon?
I don’t know if that sounds like an intelligent question but I couldn’t understand much about Triberr!
It’s certainly nothing like the sites you mentioned, Rohan. https://trafficgenerationcafe.online/triberr-guide/
Although I couldn’t watch the video (yet), as bloggers, we all need any (legal) way of generating traffic. Triberr is worth taking a good look at. Thanks Traffic Generation Cafe.
You are welcome, Denzil.
Good day Ana, I’ve been on Triberr a few days now, is the site naturally slow? My connection is fine, and the rest of my internet speed is perfect. It’s just Triberr that takes 20 minutes to post a comment. Do you know if there is a problem with the site?
Thank you.
I haven’t noticed, Denzil; seems to be working fine. However, stop by their bonfires and see if there’s any mention of a problem or bring it to their attention.
Hi Ana:
How are you?
You got me confused here –
What is Triberr???
Can you please let me know?
Take care.
Best wishes and regards.
Veena:)

It’s very important to interact with people and that is one of the effective way that helps build your relationship faster with people and love your video, keep up the great work.
Thanks, Ferb.
Thanks Ana for the information. You made Triberr clearer for me now. I plan to use it now that I understand it more.
You are welcome, Sharron.
Hi Ana,
I just clicked to join your Tribe now, lets rock an roll on Triberr 🙂
I read the other post you wrote about triberr and i enjoyed it a lot. I take this one as a continuation of the previous one :).
Thanks a lot for sharing and do have a fabulous weekend.
BTW: Please also extend my warm regards to your family.
MUCH appreciated, Theodore.
I’ve taken a look at Triberr and to me it just looks like another social media outlet for like minded individuals. And there is nothing wrong with that but other than possible networking opportunities I don’t see much advantage to it in terms of traffic. If I write about how to make a cat stand among 20 other people who are writing about it why bother to share it? Maybe I’m not seeing the full picture of it though?
Let’s say we are in the same tribe, Adam, and one of your posts with a completely different approach to training a cat to stand catches my eye. Of course, I’ll share it with my followers, but you are right, that probably won’t give you much traffic.
However, next time I am writing a post on the subject on my cat blog, I’ll remember that brilliant post of yours and mention it as a great additional read for my readers. Now THAT will definitely get you some traffic from other cat lovers, plus a link from my blog might help you to rank for some awesome cat standing keyword that will get you even more traffic.
And why stop there? Now that I know who you are and know that you write great content on the subject, I might mention you again or again or approach you with a JV offer or introduce you to other powerful bloggers in my niche. In other words, you are in. All thanks to Triberr.
Hi Adam,
When the Founder of the platform responds, it can often seam like a heavy-handed sale. So I hope my response doesnt come off that way.
With that in mind, allow me to elaborate on how Triberr is very different from any other platform out there.
Starting Triberr was a plan B. I didnt want to, but there was nothing else like it out there. Not even today.
I wanted a place where bloggers can connect with one another, and the place that will make things that bloggers do (writing, commenting, sharing, reading) quicker and painless.
If you’re a student of economy, they call this the cost of transaction. We want to minimize the cost of transaction for bloggers.
Simultaneously, it’s built for maximum leverage.
Bottom line. Most people triple their traffic within 2 or 3 posts. You can syndicate other people’s posts (and comments) as well. No one else has the comment syndication feature, only Triberr.
In other words, we are building solutions for bloggers because we are bloggers. You could say we’re scratching our own itch 🙂
Hope that wasnt too much 🙂
Cheers,
Dino
Founder of Triberr
Well said, Dino.
Hello Ana,
I have been using triberr for some months now and i’ll say triberr is a good place to meet like minded bloggers. Triberr can’t give you that traffic you need but a good place to meet good friends. thanks
I think that’s exactly the point Dino was trying to make, Babanature - it’s not necessarily about the raw traffic numbers, but in establishing your presence and recognition among our peers. Triberr is the perfect tool for that.
I’m a member of Triberr Ana, and it’s a nice resource. Shares are way down and there are some recent problem but I think Dino knows it and is on top of things. Triberr is a network of some great bloggers and it takes some interaction to get the most from it. I could do a lot better from my end but I have met some great people there.
That’s just it, Brian - Triberr is capable of giving us back exactly what we are willing to invest into it.
Oh Ana this one is a goodie. I love how you set it up as at the start with the newbie blogger.
I love hearing how newbies can use services like this it is so cool. There are so many different shiny objects out there, that is it is good to get to real deal.
One of the things I ran into, was determining if people were active or not on Triberr. Seems like many people are inactive.
Great interview.
Thanks, Ian.
Triberr, as any other social platform, changes over time. Even if someone is active there today, they might get tired of actually working for social media attention and drop out.
The trick to keeping a tribe active is to look for the “new blood” every once in a while. 🙂
I like your ideas, Ana and your suggestions are always welcomed and on the point. I like Triberr and your post gave me more insights about its usage. Thank you very much for sharing!!!
Thanks, Takis!
Ana,
Thanks for the heads up on Triberr! But where’s your Triberr icon on your blog with a link to your Tribe? I joined but I’m sure others will want to know how to find you. Thanks again!
Hi Kevin,
We dont have a “follow me on Triberr”type icon….yet 🙂
There are links to my tribe from Triberr posts, but that’s about it, Kevin. Reason: joining my tribe on Triberr, even though important, is far from being the primary conversion goal for Traffic Generation Café, so I don’t want to add it anywhere else on my blog.
